Republican Lawmakers’ History of Child Sex Crimes Revealed
Former North Dakota Senator Ray Holmberg, a powerful legislator for 45 years, will be sentenced next week for traveling abroad to engage in sex with underage boys. A sentencing memorandum details a decades-long pattern of sexual exploitation of vulnerable boys and young men, including trips to Prague to have sex with underage boys and the grooming of a former student. Holmberg leveraged his political power and influence to obtain sexual favors, using state funds for travel related to this exploitation. He faces a sentence of three to four years in prison, plus lifetime supervised release.
